Baby Hot Cakes-Giving you the Slice on Baby Showers

What are the latest baby shower trends?

Traditionally, baby showers were exclusively for women who celebrated the occasion watching the expectant mom open up gifts, eat, and play games. Now the trend has moved away from tradition to co-ed parties where expectant parents can celebrate the birth of their child together. Unlike traditional parties which emphasis is on games, co-ed parties should focus on good food and music, association with loved ones, and the opening up of gifts by the expectant parents. If co-ed parties do include games they should be ones that both sexes would enjoy participating in together.

What is proper etiquette when planning a baby shower?

Anyone can plan the baby shower for expectant parents but the host should discuss their preferences so the event can be pleasant and drama free. First, expectant parents should determine the guest list instead of the host so nobody is unintentionally left out and unwelcome guest are excluded.  Second, planning the appropriate baby shower date is important for assurance  that loved ones can attend, and they have no scheduling conflicts with other possible planned baby showers. Third, hosts need to determine if there are specific baby items they need or prefer, and if their registered at a particular store to aid guests with gift ideas. Fourth, discussion of food is important because the expectant parents and guests may have food preferences due to allergies or type of diet. Lastly, invitations should be mailed out a month prior to give potentional guests time to RSVP for the event.

What are some popular games for baby showers?

The baby shower hosts should plan games that are enjoyable for expectant parents and guests. A fun game that can be played is charades where guests can break up in teams and act out nursery rhyme lines. Perhaps teams can play the Price is Right, which is just like the TV show game but with baby items. Another game that can be played is the dirty baby diaper game where guests use dolls and compete for the record of fastest diaper changer. Last, but not least, our diaper cakes can be used for a game by having guests compete over the number of secret ingredients inside the cake.
